The number 3 comes from the number of gifts (gold, frankincense, and myrrh) not the number of visitors. Their exact number is unknown, but it was probably significantly larger than 3.

The visitors were not kings, most likely they were Zoroastrian Astrologers familiar with the Jewish scripture from when Jews were captives in Babylon and Persia hundreds of years before.

What is the difference between Jesus Christ and Christ Jesus?

'Christ' comes from the Greek word for 'anointed', and the Hebrew word is 'messiah' (approximately). The ancient Jews anointedtheir kings and high priests, and the first-century Jews hoped for a new messiah to liberate their nation. The early Christians saw Jesus as this longed-for messiah. So, 'Christ' is a title, not a name - in English, Jesus Christ means 'Jesus the anointed one'.
